Is the burdah controversial ?

Where is the controversy? Can you provide any sources to back the claims of the text that you have added? I have removed the text from the article and place it below:

Not to mention, that paragraph features blatant POV. --Salleyye 04:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "so-called benefits" should be removed. There is no source for it.

Further: there is controversy directly related to the content, despite what Barastert has said. See http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/115502 as a starter reference, for instance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wth1982 (talkcontribs) 00:24, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

English Title

[edit]

Would it be OK to add or "Poem of the Cloak" to the opening line as this is how I was introduced to it and how in UK "english" circles I think it is more widely known?

  • Qaṣīdat al-Burda (Arabic: قصيدة البردة‎, "Poem of the Mantle" or "Poem of the Cloak")

Controversial Poem

[edit]

This article should highlight that this poem is very controversial among the Muslim community. I agree with Wth1982 when he posted this article which refutes this poem as kufr:

http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/115502

If there is no objections, I will briefly add why the poem is controversial and can be seen as kufr

Qaṣīda al-BurdaAl-Burda – per WP:Commonname, there is no need to append the title of this page with "Qaṣīda" which is Arabic for poem that is additionally spelled with phonetic diactcrics (ṣī) that are not normally used for Arabic titles, because those are not generally transliterated in the title. Additionally saying "Qasida al-Burda" is wrong grammatically in Arabic because it should be "Qasidat al-Burda". Al-Burda is a notable enough topic that there is no need to refer to it otherwise. An instance of needless WP:PRECISION, that is like saying "the state of Germany" instead of just "Germany". Relisted.

Sunni Muslims

[edit]

Just curious. Why the emphasis on the poem being venerated by Sunni Muslims (several times throughout the article)? First, there is no evidence cited for this. Second, why is this important?
